Forum

We would like to invite you to visit our new forum page! Currently, the functionality is pretty basic, so you can't post anything other than plain boring text and links, but we plan to start gradually improving it in near future if it appears to be popular among our users.

By default you will be notified about posts, that are submitted by people you follow, but you can always opt in for receiving notifications about every new forum post in your notification settings. We would like everybody to consider this, because there will be questions about music boxes and the website in general and many of you already have enough experience to help the others.

Huge thanks to all current and future contributors!

Users on world map and repetitive notes

We've suddenly realized, that the audience of our lovely website is becoming very international, so we've added a world map of our users to the home page. In case if you haven't seen it yet, go check it out, it's under the featured video widget. It's truly amazing to see you all, thank you for being with us! Oh, and if you'd like to update or hide your location, you can do it in your profile settings.

Many of you have reported an issue with paper strip music boxes not playing repetitive notes when they are too close to each other. We've reproduced the problem and unfortunately it looks like it's one of the limitations of the mechanism design. From now we highlight such notes with red color in the online editor and also when you export melodies to PDF. Hopefully, this small improvement will help you to identify the problem earlier.

Turn the crank and hear an old tune. The charm of a music box still lingers to this day, and now the mechanism that creates the music is available for you to compose any song you wish. Our Music Box hole punch is a music makers delight. Create your own melody by punching holes in the music paper strips provided. The Happy Birthday melody is included for you to get started. For musicians, crafters and lovers of music this is a must have item. The kit also includes a instruction booklet to help you get started. Order your own DIY Music Box Kit now!
